In the final set, Borg down 0-30, would go on an incredible & clutch serving streak. He would win 19 in a row on serve, all the way until the 10th game of the set. He made 25 out of 31 first serves, finding all the corners and lines. Even McEnroe acknowledges that “He served better in the fifth than he might have in the whole match.”
